The Daily Show

4/9/12
The White House celebrates Easter and Passover, Tim Weiner talks about the FBI, and The Best F#@king News Team Ever reports on the trial of the millennium.
The Daily show usually is more political oriented show than the Colbert Report.  Both shows are obviously focused on politics but the Daily Show generally allows a viewer to be more politically inclined.  A lot of the satire used is very dry but at times it became extremely embodied with enthusiasm.  The jokes that were made were directed at the Easter at the White House, the director of the FBI quitting with out giving a reason and Martin Luther King being honored as today's rockstar.  This was especially interesting because Martin Luther king is about ten times the person of almost any rockstar that has ever lived.  He helped abolish white supremacy.  To give him the title of a rockstar is actually pretty insulting.
